Steve ‘Commando’ Willis has made an interesting career move in the wake of his public split from Michelle Bridges. The former The Biggest Loser trainer is offering personalised videos on the website Cameo for fans, charging $20 a request. The 43-year-old has already filmed several Cameo clips on the site and promoted a special Mother’s Day message online. With strict COVID-19 restrictions still in place for indoor group exercise and personal training, it seems Commando may be struggling with the loss of income. It comes after the father of four separated from personal trainer Michelle Bridges, with whom he shares 4-year-old son Axel, earlier this year. Michelle, 49, shared a cryptic post on Mother’s Day, alluding to their messy split. “I guess this whole situation we find ourselves in has…

By day she works in sales, by night, she’s a real-life ghostbuster. For nearly two decades, psychic and paranormal investigator, Soula Vaitsis, has scoured everything from abandoned asylums and spooky jails, to ghost-plagued suburban semis, in the hopes of an encounter with a disembodied spirit. But the seeds for the Melbourne-based mum’s otherworldly occupation were sown after a childhood encounter with a ghost. “I was only 7 at the time,” the 46-year-old tells New Idea. “I was at a local park with my cousin. We were on the swings next to one other when my cousin said to me: ‘Don’t pull my hair!’ I was swinging next to her at the time. I replied: ‘I didn’t.’ And then, suddenly, I felt my own hair being pulled. “Jumping off the swings,…

• There can be slight variations in cooking times with different brands of slow cookers, so use recipe timings given as a guide and always check to make sure the finished dish is properly cooked. • Keeping the lid on the slow cooker is key to maintaining the heat and moisture while food cooks, so try to limit the amount of times you lift the lid, especially if you are baking or trying to produce an oven-like environment. • When making casseroles, curries and soups, always have the slow cooker at least half full. The exception is when making breads, cakes or puddings. • Before using frozen meat or chicken, make sure that it is completely defrosted as frozen meat won’t reach a safe temperature quickly enough. • It’s not necessary to brown meats or…

When I was young, every Saturday I used to bake. While my brothers were raking leaves and doing the lawns I would turn out two trays of biscuits, a slice and a cake – note the gendered roles back in the 1970s! As you’d expect I’m proficient at separating eggs, folding ingredients, creaming butter and sugar and making sure I don’t open the oven when cakes are cooking. Not so my daughters. Recently I was teaching the younger one to how to bake a Victoria sponge and her egg separating technique would have horrified my mum. Bits of yolk and shell floated among the egg whites despite her best efforts to scrape them out. So while we’ve got more time, I decided it was a great opportunity to teach her…

Big mistakes can be made when relationships end. There is a lot going on so it’s understandable. Discussions about who takes the pet or pets will often revolve around short-term practicalities. Who has the space and time for the pet? But discussions about the costs are important. Our pets give us so much joy, and they don’t ask for much in return. Ensuring their, and your, future stability might mean a tough conversation, but it’s an important one. UNDERSTAND THE EXPENSES Understanding the costs of a pet is the first step to making decisions about what to do with it. In the first year of ownership a cat or dog will cost you anywhere between $3000 and $6000. After that you can expect to pay at least $1475 each year…

Q My wife is suggesting that we get an investment property. I think that it’s a bad idea given the climate we are in right now. What is the best way to discuss this without causing a big argument? MARK, VIA EMAIL. A This is a far too important decision to fight over. By all accounts this is a good time to buy a property. The coronavirus has hit the real estate market. Prices are down and the banks are making it easier to borrow. The problem is you think it is a bad idea to take on an investment property. You’ll need to sit down with your wife and explain why this is not the time to stretch your financial commitments. She needs to listen to your reasons for…

After once again being forced to push back their wedding, Princess Beatrice and her fiancé, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, have their sights set on a new ambition. It’s thought that the couple are doing their very best to convince the Queen and other senior royals that they should be seriously considered for taking on Prince Harry and Meghan’s recently vacated positions – and old home. Behind the scenes, Bea and Edo have reportedly expressed how keen they are to move into the newly refurbished Frogmore Cottage, which is currently unoccupied. Already co-parenting Edo’s 3-year-old son Christopher, the couple are planning on extending their family and are keen to put Archie’s former luxury nursery to good use.

With two babies to care for, Amy Birch was a busy single mum, trying her best to give them a happy life. But behind the smiling selfies with her young children is a terrifying story about the cruel domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of her ‘knight in shining armour’.

Despite two court orders telling Aaron to stay away from Amy’s home, he hid in her loft for six days, secretly watching the mum of two from the attic.

It was the wedding we were all waiting for – the must-see nuptials of Summer Bay police officers Colby (Tim Franklin) and Chelsea (Ashleigh Brewer). And it certainly didn’t disappoint in the drama stakes! After a long and complicated trip to the altar – with the pair calling off the wedding more times than we can remember – the couple finally said ‘I do’ in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Meanwhile, as the wedding was taking place, the relationship of another one-time favourite Summer Bay couple was imploding. While an unaware Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) kicked up her heels at the low-key reception with her friends, her husband Brody (Jackson Heywood) was taking his flirtation with sexy newcomer Simone (Emily Eskell) to the next level. And the drama was only just beginning.…

Radio star Jackie O is in talks to star in a new reality show with other mums from her daughter Kitty’s school, including journalist Jessica Rowe. Jackie revealed on-air she is in a WhatsApp group with the other mums, where they chat and share memes. “After the segment, KIIS FM producers begged her to see the chat and they thought the content was hilarious,” a source reveals. “They think it would actually make the basis for a great new TV show.” The idea is now being pitched as a ‘Mums of Sydney’ style reality show and would be based around the mother’s lives professionally and at home. Kitty attends the same school as Jessica and Peter Overton’s daughters Giselle and Allegra, and producers think Jessica would be the perfect talent.…

They have started a new life in celebrity central and now Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided the time is right for that very Los Angeles rite of passage: the renewal of their wedding vows.

Queen Elizabeth’s reign is facing its biggest crisis yet, with the monarch set to withdraw from public life for the foreseeable future. It is believed Her Majesty, who remains in isolation, informed members of the royal family, including her children Prince Charles and Princess Anne, of her decision via private video calls. The reports come amid growing speculation that the 94-year-old may never return to regular frontline royal duties – even after coronavirus lockdown measures are eased. Her Majesty, along with husband Prince Philip, has been in self-isolation at Windsor Castle since March 19. Prior to that, her last public appearance was in London on March 9 at the Commonwealth Service held at Westminster Abbey. Palace officials confirmed that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh would be staying put…

BACHELOR LOCKY CAUGHT OUT After the filming of The Bachelor was temporarily suspended due to the coronavirus, fans of the popular show were assured that Locklan Gilbert would be having “virtual dates” during the lockdown, in order to maintain his connection with the contestants.

New Idea hears that the former Survivor star has been taking his love life into his own hands during the filming break and searching for that special someone on social media instead. “He’s been sliding into the DMs of several women on Instagram,” a source reveals. “He likes all of their photos to get their attention, then he sends them a cheeky message and, of course, they’re more…

He wowed us with his enviable dance moves in Saturday Night Fever, he made us swoon with his quiff and leather jacket as Danny in Grease, and in Pulp Fiction he showed his acting credentials as the fast-food-obsessed assassin.

Just ask his brother Joey. “John’s an all-round nice guy – he really is!” Joey says of his 66-year-old younger brother. “I think there’s a gentleness and a kindest to him that shines through his performances. “He gets it from our dad – our dad was a really sweet, kind and inclusive man.” First rising to stardom during the ’70s, appearing on TV series Welcome Back, Kotter,…

From the outside, Leni could seem like a typical Australian mother of five. Her life is organised chaos – full of nappies, early morning school runs, crayons all over the wall and screaming toddlers at bath time. Sadly, however, the young mum is doing it all alone. For the past few years, her husband has been in prison. She isn’t proud of his actions or criminal behaviour, but the 29-year-old has managed to make lemonade out of lemons. While waiting patiently for her husband Jay to serve his time, Leni has formed a ‘jail wives club’, helping other women in the same boat. She also provides support, friendship and pen-pal communication for lonely prisoners who don’t have loved ones on the outside waiting for their release. “I have to hold…

The bizarre and chilling disappearance of young American mother Susan Powell has baffled her friends, family and crime investigators for more than a decade.

Q What is the difference between bicarbonate of soda and baking powder? Can I substitute one for the other? PAULA, VIA EMAIL. A Bicarbonate of soda is an alkaline powder which, when added to other ingredients with an acid component, creates a raising agent. When making a cake, those ingredients include cocoa powder, bananas, yoghurt or sour cream. Whereas, baking powder is made from a combination of bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar, so it contains the alkaline and the acid ingredient to be a complete leavening agent. It’s not activated until it’s mixed with wet ingredients, like eggs and milk.…

Now, on The Ghost Files podcast each week, Karina will introduce a guest who’ll share their personal encounter with the spirit world.
